A face chart is an outline drawing of a face used by makeup artists to plan, practice, and design makeup looks before applying them on a real model or client.
It allows artists to experiment with colors, shapes, and techniques, and to visually map out a look in advance.
Face charts are commonly used for training, creative development, and portfolio work.
You use a face chart to plan and practice a makeup look before applying it on a real face.
Start by visualising the look you want to create, then apply colours, shapes, and techniques directly onto the chart using makeup, pencils, or paint.
Face charts are ideal for testing ideas, refining technique, and documenting products or steps, so you can recreate the look later with confidence.
To start face charting, you need a face chart template, makeup products, and basic tools to apply colour and detail.
Most artists use printed face charts together with makeup, pencils, or markers they already own.
You don’t need a large kit — a small, versatile selection is more than enough to practice technique, colour placement, and design.
Face charts are used by professional makeup artists, students, and makeup enthusiasts alike.
Professionals use them to plan looks, test ideas, and document designs, while beginners use face charts to practice technique, colour placement, and creativity without working on a live model.
They are a practical tool for anyone who wants to improve or explore makeup skills.
